Attention: Andrew Tanenbaum
Mr. Tanenbaum,
I received your letter notifying me that I successfully received a Record Suspension from the Parole Board of Canada. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome and want to personally thank you and your organization for all of your assistance. This was a long, complicated process and I could not have accomplished this without your help. Thank you again for your professionalism and continuous follow up.
I have a couple questions that were not clear in the documentation and I’m hoping you can clarify.
- If I want to travel to the USA sometime in the future, am I now clear to travel, or is there a process that I must follow each time?
- The second paragraph of the letter from the Parole Board doesn’t make sense to me. (see below). Can you please explain what this means and let me know if there is any particular action that I should be taking regarding this paragraph?
“The resulting Board decision means that the criminal record held by federal departments and agencies will be kept separate from other criminal records pursuant to section 6 (2) of the CRA. Please note that while many provincial, territorial and municipal agencies, when notified, choose to conform to the CRA by restricting the disclosure of the criminal record, they are not required by law to remove conviction information from their local records as a result of a record suspension being ordered. Should a non-federal agency maintain past information on file pertaining to the conviction for which a record suspension was ordered, it is suggested that you provide them with a copy of this letter and request that they remove the information from their records in accordance with the spirit of the legislation.”
I look forward to your response.
Thank you.
Brandon
